J OHN IMBLER, OF ZION SVILLE, INDIAN A.

WIRE-FENQi-I MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 773,076, dated October 25, 1904. Application filed February 3, 1904! Serial No. 191,209. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN IMBLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Zionsville, in the county of Boone and State of Indiana, have 5 invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wire-Fence Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a machine for making wire fence of the squaremesh type which is composed of a series of longitudinal running-wires and a plurality of cross or picket wires arranged at desired intervals. In the type of machine here shown mechanism is provided for securing the picketwires to the running-wires by means of the Patent No. 706,948, issued to me August 12, 1902, the operation of said machine being entirely automatic in. all of its parts.

The accompanying drawings illustratemy invention. v Figure 1 is a .plan of the entire machine; Fig. 2, a front elevation; Fig. 3, a complete elevation of oneside of the machine; Fig. 4, a section on line 4 4 of Fig.2; Figs. 5 and 6, a horizontal section immediately above the twister-boxes; Figs. 7 and 8, a corresponding front elevation of the'parts shown in Figs. 5 and 6, respectively; Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, sectional details of one of the twister-boxes for automatically attaching the peculiar staywire tie referred to, Fig. 12 being a section on line 12 12 of Fig. 11,'and Fig.13 a similar section on line 13 13 of Fig. 9; Figs. 14, 15, and 16, details of the twister-box fortwisting the upper or righthand. end of the picketwires about the adjacent running-wire, Fig. .16 being a section on line 16 16 of Fig. 14; Figs. 17, 18, and 19, details of the twister-box picket-wires about the adjacent running-wire; Fig. 20, a considerably enlarged vertical section online 20. 20of Fig. 2; Fig. 21, a detail plan, on an enlarged scale, of the crimping 45 and feeding mechanism; Fig. 22, a similar view showing thepartsin the positions occupied immediately after the crimping and feeding has taken place; Fig. 23, a vertical section on line23 23 of Fig. 21; Fig. 24, a side 1 25, a section on line 25 25 of Fig. 22; Fig. 26, V an enlarged front elevation of the means for J straightening and feeding the tie-wires; Fig. 27, a side elevation thereof; Fig. 28, a section on line 28 28 of Fig. 26, and Fig. 29 a secj tion on line 29 29 of Fig. 28; Fig. 30,'a detail, on a larger'scale, of means for holding'the picket-wires down; Figs. 31 and 32, details of the picketrwire cutter and magazine; Fig. 33, a detail on line 33 33 of Fig. 32.

The running-wires 40 are brought from any 1 suitable source of supply over guide-rollers 41 and from thence upward over a drum 42, I journaled at the top of the machine. From this said wires are carried downwardly over 5 a similar guiding-drum 43, thence backward 1 over the crimping and feeding mechanism 44, (to be described in detail later,) and thence to the storage-drum 45.

The material 46 for the cross or picket wires for twisting the lower or left-handend of the is brought betweena pair of friction feedrollers '47 47 and by them pushed through a straightening device 48 and thence through a hardened tube 49, the end of which lies adjacent the end of the picket-magazine 50, said T end of tube 49 being supported by an adjustable abutment 51.

The material 52 for the stay-wire ties is brought from suitable storage-drums 53 over suitable tension-idlers 54 and from thence upward between straightening-rollers 55 and guides 56.

Supposing the machine to have been oper ated a suflicient number of times to fill the magazine 50, the operation has been as follows: The main shaft 57 carries at its righthand end a large mutilated gear 58, having formed upon its inner side (see dotted lines, Fig. 3) a cam 59, adapted to engage a bellcrank lever 60, which through pawl 61 and ratchet 62 is adapted to advance magazine 50 in the direction indicated by the arrow, Fig. 20, step by step. At the same time the friction-rollers 47 are positively driven by a train of gears 63 from the main shaft 57, so as to push the picket-wires 46 through tube 49 into the adjacent groove 50 of the magazine 50, said wires being pushed the entire elevation ofthe parts shown in Fig. 21; Fig.

length of the magazine and coming against a suitable stop 50", Fig. 1, at the opposite end of the magazine. The train of gears is calculated to be about right to cause the feedrollers 47 to feed the required amount of picket-wire 46; but if there is any excess movement the rollers 47 will slip upon the wire. The movement of the friction-rollers 47 takes place immediately prior to the time of engagement of cam 59 with lever 60. In Fig. 3 the cam 59 has just passed from engagement with the lever and has caused the magazine 50 to advance one step, thus operating by coaction of the magazine 50 with the tube 49 to cut the wire 46. When the magazine has been filled to the extent shown in Fig. 20 and a further advancement of one step made, a severed picket-wire 46 is discharged from the magazine, so as to slide down along guides 64 and drop upon suitable horizontal supports 65, Fig. 20. hereupon cam 66 (see dotted lines, Fig. 3) engages lever 67, which lever draws rack 68 downward and through pinion 69 and shaft 70 throws fingers 71 from the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 20 to the position shown in full lines in said figure down upon the picket-wire 46', said picket-wire being thus held upon the supports 65 and against the running-wires 40. A further advancement of the main shaft 57 brings the toothed portion 58 of the mutilated gear 58, Fig. 3, into mesh with a mutilated gear 72, carried by a shaft 73, and gives said shaft half a revolution. This shaft operates through eccentrics 74, Figs. 1 and 4, upon pitmen 75, each of which at its upper end, Fig. 20, is connected with an upright lever 76. Simultaneous with this movement a cam 77 (see dotted lines in Fig. 3) engages a lever 78, which through pitman 79 is connected with a similar upright lever 80. The upper ends of lever 76 are connected to a slide 81, Figs. 20, 5, and 6, which slide carries a plurality of fingers 82, one closely adjacent each running-wire 40 and each adapted to engage the picket-wire 46. The levers 80 are similarly connected to a slide 83, which is provided with a corresponding plurality of fingers 84, also adapted to engage the picket-wires 46 on the side of each running-wire 4O opposite that engaged by the fingers 82. When shaft 73 is rotated and lever 78 moved, the two sets of fingers 82 and 84 are moved simultaneously from the position shown in Fig. 20 to that shown in Fig. 13. This action forces the picket-wire 46 and the running-wires 40 into the twister-boxes, now to be described, and forms kinks in the picket-wire, one at each point of engagement with the running-wires, as clearly shown in Figs. 12 and 13.

There are three kinds of twister-boxes, that shown in Figs. 14, 15, and 16 being for the upper end or edge of the fabric, that shown in Figs. 17, 18, and 19 for the lower edge of the fabric, and that shown in Figs.

9 to 13, inclusive, for' attaching the picketwire to the intermediate running-wires by in line with the groove 86 are two slotted twister-gears 88 and 89, each of which is pro vided with a slot 89, adapted to register with the slot 86 and extending to the center of the gear. Journaled in line with the slot 87 and at right angles to the twister-gears 88 and 89 is a cooperating twister-gear 90, which is similarly slotted and adapted to receive the picket-wire 46. The normal position of the three twisters 88, 89, and 90 is that shown in Figs. 9, 10, and 13, and when lingers 82 and 84 have been moved inward, as described, the running-wires 40 and the picket-wires 46 are carried into the adjacent twister-gears, as shown. The lingers 84 are immediately withdrawn; but the fingers 82 remain in position, owing to the period of rest 58 of gear 58, which comes into engagement with the mutilated gear 72 after the lingers 82 and 84 are moved inward. The lever 78 also operates through its arms 78, Fig. 3, to raise bars 91, behind which the tie-wire supplies 52 pass. This bar 91 carries a series of sliding jaws or anvils 92, which are moved in suitable guides 93, one back of each tie-wire supply 52, and said bar also carries adjacent each jaw 92 a swinging jaw 94, loosely hung upon a bolt 94' and provided on the face adjacent jaw 92 with a gripping-surface adapted to grip the adjacent tie-wire supply 52 between it and the jaw 92, so that as bar 91 is moved up the tie-wire supplies 52 are pushed up through their guides 56 and the continuing hollow cutter-56, Fig. 20, and pushed through the planetary openings 88 and 89 of the twister gears 88 and 89, respectively, the movement of the tie-wire supplies 52 through the openings 88' taking place during the first movement of fingers 82 and 84 and from thence upward taking place after this movement of the fingers has taken place and after the picket-wire 46 has been moved into position, so that the tie-wire lies upon the opposite side of the picket-wire from the running-wire, as clearly shown in Fig. 9. As soon as these movements have taken place the parts are in a position shown in Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, and a further advancement of shaft 57 moves mutilated gear 95 enough to bring its toothed portion 95, Fig. 4,into engagement with the mutilated gear 96, Figs. 1 and 5, which is secured to shaft 97 and operates through a suitable train of gearing 98 upon a cranked disk 99, which through pitman 100 operates upon a pair of racks 101 and 102, Figs. 5 to 8 and Fig. 20, upon the twister-gears 88 and 89.

The first mo'vement'of these gears causes the cutter 88" of each gear 88 to cooperate with is accomplished by one revolution of the mutilated gear 96, whereupon said gear and consequently the twisting-gears 88 and 89 come to rest and a toothed portion 95 of the mutilated gear 95 comes into mesh with a mutilated gear 103, Figs. 1, and 5, which is journaled loosely upon shaft 97. This gear 103 carries a gear 104, which meshes with a gear 105, carried by shaft 106, which shaft carries a plurality of gears 107, (shown in dotted lines in Figs. 5 and 6,) meshing with the twister-gears 90. The movement of gear 103 thus rotates said twister-gears two complete revolutions, carrying the horn 90, Figs. 9 to 13, of each twister-gear 90 around he hind the ends of the tie-wire 52, which still lie in planetary holes 88 and 89, and draws said ends from the twister-gears 88 and 89 and wraps said ends about the picket-wire 46 on that side of the running-wire opposite to the middle doubled portion of the tie-wire, as clearly shown in Fig. 10.

While the operation of the gears 88 and 89 is taking place the shaft 97 rotates gear 108, Figs. 6 and 8,and through gear 109, shaft 110, and beveled gear 111 rotates the gear 112, which forms a part of the twister-box illustrated in Figs. 14,- 15, and 16. This box is provided on its face with a pair of receivinggrooves 113 and 114, which lie at right angles to each other and are adapted to receive the upper runningwire 40 and the upper end of the picket-wire 46, respectively. The

groove 114, however, is offset at opposite sides of .the groove 113, as clearly shown said end about the in Figs. 14 and 15. The rotation of gear 112 (which is journaled in the twister-head in line with the slot 113 and is slotted to its center to receive the running-wire 40) brings a block 112 into engagement with the offset end of the picket-wire 46 Figs. 15 and 16, and wraps running-wire, the beginning of said wrap being indicated in dotted lines of Fig.v 16. When these wraps have taken place, a third toothed portion of gear 95 comes into mesh with the gear 96 and gives it another complete revolution, thus causing the racks 101 and 102 to be returned, the gears 88 and 89 thus being returned to normal position. On the return movement of these racks the twister illustrated in Figs. 17 to 19 comes into action, although it remains inac-' tive in the forward stroke. This twister consists of a body-block'115, provided with a pair engaging with the picket-Wire 46,

of slots 116 and 117 arranged at right angles to each other and adapted to receive the adjacent ru n'ning-wire 40 and picket-wire 46, respectively, the picket-wire being guided into place by means of a suitable finger 118, carried by an adjustable block 119, adjusted longitudinally of the running-wires. J ournaled in line with block 119 and in line with slot 116 is a twister-gear 120, which carries at its inner'end a twister-block 121, which at its forward end is provided with a cam 122, adapted to cooperate with a cam-surface 123, formed on the inner end of block 119', the arrangement'being such that when the twistergear 120 is rotated in the direction opposite to that indicated in the arrow in Fig. 17 (by the first or forward movementof rack 102) it will pass freely around and be displaced longitudinally'by the cam 123 and the picketwire 46, so as not to engage said picket-wire with'a wrapping action, longitudinal displacement being permitted by reason of a springsupport 124. Upon the" return stroke of rack 102, however, the coaction of cams 122 and 123 no longer prevents the block 121 from as clearly shown inFig. l7, and the picket-Wire is consequently wrapped about the adjacent run ning-wire at this end and in a direction opposite to the wrap of the picket-wire at the other edge of the fabric. When this wrapping has taken place, further advancement of the shaft 57 brings the toothed portion 58 of gear 58, Fig. 3, into engagement with the mutilated gear 72 and gives said gear another half-turn, whereupon fingers 82 are retracted. The bar 81 carries, in addition to fingers 82, a series of guides 125, Fig. 20, OI]6 'fOI- each running-wire 40, and also a series of correspondingiguides 125, so that when the bar 81 is retracted the running-wires, with the attached picket wire, are positively withdrawn from the twisting mechanism. Thereupon during the period of rest which follows toothed portion 58 the toothed portion of a mutilated gear 126 (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4 and in full'lines in Fig. 1) comes into mesh with a mutilated gear 127, which, through shaft 128, Fig. 1, cranked plates 128, and pitman 129, reciprocates the slides 130. The two slides 130, Figs 21 to 25, are connected by cross-bars 131, which extend over the fabric, and pivoted on one of these bars is a bar 132, which rests freely upon the fabric, so as to hold it down into position. Slidably supported upon the main frame is a grid consisting of three cross-bars 133, each of which is provided with a series of posts 134, arranged one adjacent each running-wire and having the face adjacent said wire curved, as shown. The grid thus formed is provided with extensions 133, which lie upon slides 130 and have a limited movement thereon by reason of the fingers 135. Arranged between bars 133 are bars 136 and 136, provided with IIO blocks 137, which are the complement of the blocks 134. The bar 136 is connected by a link 138 with the adjacent slide 130, so that when slides 130 are moved to the rear by a rotation of the shaft 128 the said slides will move without moving the grid 133, but the link 138 will be swung and straightened out in line with the attached bar 136, so as to force said bar over to the right and cause the posts 137 thereof to engage the running-wires and kink the same between the opposite posts 134. The fabric is thus gripped, so that when extensions 133 are engaged by the slides 130 the grid 133 will be moved to the rear and the fabric drawn through the machine. As this movement takes place the bar 136 has one of its ends brought into engagement with the stationary cam 139 and is moved thereby in a manner similar to the movement of the bar 136, so as to produce a kink in the running-wires between the adjacent posts 134. As the slides 130 are moved to the rear the pitman 140, which is connected to one of said slides, operates a ratchet arm 141, which through ratchet 142 and gearing 143 operates through a friction-clutch 144 (of a well-known type) upon the winding-drum 45, so as to wind the fabric up as it is fed from the machine. The feeding and kinking mechanism is drawn back to normal position upon the completion of the rotation of the shaft 128, and the parts continue the operation already described.

It will be noticed that the operation of the entire machine is automatic in every particular, the running-wires, the material for the picketwires, and the material for the tiewires being fed continuously into the machine. As a consequence the fabric can be made very rapidly and will be very uniform.
